A Kikoff Credit Account is one of the most responsible and affordable ways to build credit -- no deposit or credit check required to get started.
By signing up with a membership, you pay only $2 a month with 0% interest and no additional fees. We report your Kikoff account to the major credit bureaus as a credit line -- with each monthly payment, you build payment history. We’ll help you be successful by sending payment reminders (plus you have the option to turn on AutoPay!)
Kikoff is a safer way to build credit. For those of us who have struggled with credit card debt, this is also a way to build credit without the temptation of going into debt.
Kikoff is an official data furnisher for Equifax and Experian. We report all customers’ monthly payments to Equifax and Experian.
Most lenders check two bureaus and mortgage lenders are required to check all three bureaus, so our members are well-covered.
We work closely with all the bureaus and are constantly improving our services, so keep in touch for more updates!
Kikoff addresses three factors that determine 80% of your credit score: payment history, credit utilization, and account age.
Payment history (35%) is the single most important factor in your score. It looks at whether you’ve paid past credit bills on time. We report your monthly Kikoff payments to the major credit bureaus. Each one builds your payment history - and your credit.
Credit Utilization (30%) is how much credit you’re using divided by your credit limit. The lower this ratio, the better. Experts recommend below 10%, and the Credit Account gets you utilization as low as 2%.
Account age (15%) is the average age of all your credit accounts. The Kikoff Credit Account never expires, so keeping it open will continue to grow your credit.
It can take up to 6 weeks for Kikoff to show up on your credit report depending on when in the month you signed up. Kikoff reports everyone’s payments at the end of every month. After that it can take up to 2 weeks to be processed and added to your credit report.
We help you keep track of your score by having it available on your account. We'll also email you with any updates. Just keep checking in, and remember it's about the long haul!
We’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people build credit. We’re officially recognized by the major credit bureaus, and Silicon Valley’s biggest investors trust and back Kikoff.
